Well, I've moved again, this time from the Golden Lemon Guest House (which would have been very expensive to stay at for a week) to Kobby's. Kobby is an employee at AFS here in Ghana, and is very kind (like all the others I've met here). I'll be here until the 23rd (next Monday) when I will go to my host family.
Today, I'm going to familiarize myself with the area a little and take taxis to the AFS office - BY MYSELF! It takes two to get there - one to Circle, then one in the direction of Worker's College, where I will get off by a big Catholic Cathedral or YWCA, depending on the route they take. Hopefully the language barrier wont be too much of a problem. Wish me luck!
Later, I will meet Fabian, a German volunteer who has already been here in Accra for 10 months, help me figure out trotro routes. Hopefully, I'll also be able to pick up some fabric from the market, but I may leave that to another day...
I'm missing you all very much and look forward to being home. But, I promise, I'm taking in every moment here while I can.
All my love,
Emily
Didn't go AFS, as Fabian was held up at work late. Instead I did laundry and rested from the heat.
